In the printing of our articles, we use only water-based colors. An innovative solution that reflects our ethical values and our responsibility towards the planet and people. An environmental benefit: choosing water-based colors significantly reduces the environmental impact of production. Unlike traditional chemical solvent-based inks, this technology does not release harmful substances into the atmosphere, greatly reducing emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which are responsible for pollution and deterioration of the ozone layer. Additionally, the absence of harmful plasticizing substances contributes to reduced water contamination and makes the disposal of printed materials more sustainable.
Safety and well-being for people: using water-based colors ensures a safer production process for our artisans and produces fabrics that are gentle on the skin, suitable for everyone. Water-based colors are non-toxic, making them safe for the skin and ideal even for garments intended for young children. They offer a better tactile sensation, as they do not form the typical plastic film common with some traditional inks. They provide enhanced workplace safety due to their low volatility, reducing the risk of inhaling harmful substances and lowering the risk of fires.
Longer-lasting and better printing quality: Water-based solvents allow the ink to penetrate more deeply into fabric fibers. This ensures colors that last longer and offer higher quality compared to plastic-based inks such as Plastisol.

2. Sustainable water management in the production process: a closed-loop system to reduce environmental impact

In the textile dyeing industry, water usage is one of the main environmental concerns due to its massive consumption and the pollution of wastewater resulting from the use of dyes and chemicals.
To reduce environmental impact, we have implemented a closed-loop purification system that allows us to reuse all the water used in our production processes.
An advanced purification system for sustainability: our approach includes two purification phases: an initial treatment that removes larger impurities and chemical residues, followed by an osmotic purification process. This final stage ensures purified, contaminant-free water that can be reused in the production cycle without compromising process quality.
Thanks to this system, we not only reduce water consumption but also lower costs associated with wastewater disposal.
Environmental benefits of closed-loop water reuse in the production process:
Conservation of natural resources: reduction of water consumption by up to 70% through purification and reuse at various production stages.
Minimization of environmental impact: up to 90% reduction in wastewater through dual purification, significantly decreasing water pollution.
Economic efficiency: lower management costs for wastewater treatment and chemical processing, with potential savings of up to 30%.
Long-term sustainability: an eco-friendly approach that contributes to water resource conservation and reduced pollutant emissions, ensuring responsible water use over time.
A concrete solution to enhance the sustainability of production activities, reducing both resource consumption and environmental impact.

According to a report by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, every second, a truckload of textile waste is either discarded or burned. Discarded fabrics, commonly found in deserts like Atacama in Chile, take hundreds of years to biodegrade, harming ecosystems and water sources.
In our production process, we do not believe in waste. Every fabric scrap, even the smallest one, is repurposed and used to create accessories, preventing waste generation.
Optimizing materials is a priority for us: fabrics left over from larger products are transformed into smaller items, minimizing our environmental impact. This attention to detail not only reduces resource consumption but also results in unique and sustainable accessories, ensuring that every part of the material is valued.
With this approach, every scrap becomes an opportunity, reinforcing our commitment to more responsible and mindful production.

5. Reusing leftover dyes: a sustainable innovation in textiles
A benefit for the environment: reusing leftover dye in printing allows us to significantly reduce the amount of waste produced.

We are constantly committed to ensuring the quality of our products while respecting the environment and promoting responsible production practices. For this reason, we have adopted an innovative solution to reuse leftover dyes during the printing phase, minimizing environmental impact and optimizing resource usage.
An environmental benefit: reusing leftover dyes in printing allows us to significantly reduce the amount of waste produced. Unlike traditional disposal practices, where surplus dyes are treated as waste, this technology enables us to fully repurpose them, turning them into new multicolor textures. This prevents the release of chemical substances into the environment, reduces industrial waste, and limits the need to produce new pigments, thereby cutting the ecological impact of production.
Resource efficiency and sustainability: by reusing leftover dyes, we optimize resource use, prevent waste, and reduce the consumption of new materials. Recovering surplus dyes lowers the need for additional paint purchases, conserving valuable natural resources and enhancing the efficiency of the production process. This approach also increases the economic sustainability of our entire production cycle.
A positive impact on design and creativity: reusing leftover dyes not only cuts down on waste, but also fosters innovation in textile design. The multicolor textures produced by reusing dyes give each product unique value, creating artistic pieces that blend sustainability and creativity. Every dye residue becomes an opportunity to create new, distinctive patterns that enrich our offerings and contribute to a high-quality final product.
Safety and well-being: in addition to environmental benefits, our dye reuse process also improves the well-being of those working with our products. Avoiding the release of hazardous chemicals during printing reduces the risks associated with exposure to harmful volatile compounds, thereby enhancing workplace safety.
